More than anything else, this smells like cake and I look forward to putting it on every day. It is an actual pleasure to use. I am fair and the pigment does not turn orange on my skin. I love that this has spf, which was the main reason I bought it. I use it after my foundation and always make sure to apply generously to my neck and décolleté with the added benefit of it evening out just a touch of pink in my skin there. It feels like absolutely nothing on the skin but you give off the subtlest aroma or cake. You will not regret this purchase.

I was skeptical about this because it seemed too good to be true. It smells heavenly and protects completely. It is perfect for my acne-prone, oily skin. One caveat, I have fairly light skin so the powder blends in well, but if you have dark skin this might not work. They should make more shades!

I’m giving it 3 stars because it’s really hard to tell if the powder is coming out or not. I have to push the button a million times and brush a lot harder than I would like to feel like I am getting any powder on my face. The positives are that I haven’t been burned yet so it I suppose it’s working, and it has a nice faint vanilla smell. I prolly wouldn’t buy this again.

Love the product, not the packaging. I understand the idea behind the packaging, to throw it in your purse or bag for on the go. I can’t tell if I’m getting product on my face haha I just assume I am. After trying and trying I think I’ve figured it out

I love this product - has a great smell, feels great on the skin and provides a good amount of spf coverage for lake days. I only wish it wasn’t an all in one product and that the powder had it’s own container that required you to use a brush.

One of my favorite powdered SPF! Carry it around with me everywhere! Use it on me and my three year old girls skin. No reactions & smells lovely as it is scented with vanilla. This is my second container; the first one was purchased over a year ago and I still have a little bit left. The first one was purple and I like this packaging color (light blue/aqua) much better! It’s also a nice finishing powder worn with your make up. It goes on perfectly in tight areas that it’s hard to get sunblock that is a lotion type, like your ears, top of your scalp and neck and chest area. Also like that it is a clean type.

Overall I like the set & protect. I do find that it has a lot of fallout and the vanilla scent is strong. I wish it would build up on my face when applied. I too ally have to wipe it around with my hands or another brush. With that being said, I’d buy another if it was translucent without the scent.

I love how convenient it is, and the one time I used it, the sunscreen did a pretty good job of keeping my ghostly-pale skin safe from burning... now let’s see how it goes in when summer is actually here!

I love the light feel of this powder! I feel set and covered and it lasts all day for me, even in humid Georgia! I am not a super-fan of the smell, which is a light, non-obnoxious vanilla. Just not my jam, but the rest of the merits outweigh the light scent!

I love this sunscreen! It’s so light weight and it smells amazing! I have been using it a couple weeks now. I love it’s a powder that goes over makeup and doesn’t disturb it at all. It gives me great sun protection and is so easy to keep in my bag. No sticky mess or foundation screwing up my foundation!

I couldn’t tell the difference between this and the Tarteguard powder sunscreen, but now that I ordered it I can tell the packaging is better and less flimsy. I love powder sunscreen that can be applied on the go and it smells yummy.

I got this to take with me when I'm out all day and need to touch up on spf without ruining my makeup. I think it works for what it is, but I dislike that there's so little product. I wish there was more. It's also a bit difficult to tell if you actually applied any powder to your face unless you pump out a large amount.

BEST ANSWER:Hi Jane, The formulation and ingredients are a little bit different in the new set and protect powder sunscreen. The new one has more setting ability than the previous one. Great question, please go to Tarte.com to view ingredient listing.

Not as much as a waterproof cream would be, let’s be real, but it excels in what it CAN do which is scalp, ears, weird places that you can’t spray and of course, over makeup. The product amount is limited but it’s super convenient for on-the-go applications!

Both the Set & Protect Powder Sunscreen and Tarteguard Powder Sunscreen are wonderful products. They act very similarly to each other. A big point of difference is that the Set & Protect can also be used as a foundation setting powder, giving your face 12 hours of power and hold! As well, the ingredients for the two products are slightly different. I recommend you to take a look through all the details on each product page and determine which one works best for your person needs.
